ETA: Ok, I checked, so it costs now, but I'm sure it didn't, but it is only 68p plus the stamp, which I don't think is that bad...
If its just selling stuff on ebay or similar then just send it 1st class from the post office. Parcel force is supposed to be better but in my experience its more expensive and takes longer to arrive - stick to 1st class royal mail or recorded delivery (normally about a pound more).
next step up recorded, its always cost to send recorded, but its quite good value. think it only insures you up to about £100 or something tho.
if its worth a bit Special Delivery it is, costs a bit but they have to sign for it and they guarentee next day delivery.
its its a big or weighty item i use TNT. Only for the fact we get it for £6.95 from work cos of our contract with them.
I think the most you can claim is 30 x the cost of postage. So a standard fisrt class letter, the compensation would be up to £9.60p
ETA Just read the back of a recorded delivery slip, it's 100 x cost of a first class stamp, so £32.
Why do they ask how much the item is worth? Like, if I say £100 and their policy is to pay upto £32 is there much point in asking?
I would imagine so they can offer you insurance or another method of delivery that carries a higher insurance value.
